Revierderby
Encyclopedia
The region of Ruhr (in German: Ruhrgebiet) is home to the famous derby
in German
football
between Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04.
Revierderby ("Derby of the Area"; Revier being a colloquial form for "region", "area") is the name historically given to any football
match played between two clubs of Ruhr
area, in North Rhine-Westphalia
, Germany
. Strictly speaking, Revierderby almost always refers to matches played between Borussia Dortmund
and Schalke
, while a match between two other Ruhr Area teams will often be denoted as a Kleines Revierderby ("Small Derby of the Area").
The rivalry began with a 4-2 Schalke victory on May 3, 1925. Schalke's style of play at the time was described by a newspaper of the era as a "wandering ball from man to man" in a series of short, flat passes. The Schalker Kreisel (literally: the "Schalke gyroscope"; "Schalke spinning top") was born. Schalke won all three matches played in the years 1925-1927. The two teams did not meet again until the creation of the Gauliga in 1936.
With the creation of the Gauliga in 1936, Dortmund developed its intense rivalry with Schalke. Schalke was the most successful German club of the era, winning four German championships and one German cup during these eight years. Schalke dominated the early meetings, winning 14 matches, and losing only once, with one match played to a draw. August Lenz's goal on November 14, 1943 secured Dortmund's first ever victory against Schalke.
Dortmund win the Westphalia championship final 3-2 over Schalke, ending Schalke's domination in the region.
The years 1947-63 continued to be a reversal of fortune for Dortmund, winning 9 of the first 13 Revierderbies during this era, and losing only 7 of 32 overall. Dortmund also won three Oberliga championships in these years.
The creation of the Bundesliga in 1963 began with Dortmund continuing their winning ways, by taking 8 of the first 10 meetings.
Schalke's 1-0 victory on April 20, 1968, saw the return of Schalke's fortune and the fall of Dortmund. After Dortmund's 0-3 defeat on March 4, 1972, and subsequent relegation from the league, the teams did not play each other again until 1975.
After Dortmund's return to the Bundesliga, Lothar Huber
's goal in the 87th minute on November 5, 1977 gave Dortmund their first victory over Schalke in nearly ten years. The following years belonged to Dortmund, winning eleven matches to Schalke's six, culminating in a 3-2 victory in a German Cup match on December 9, 1988. Schalke's relegation after the 1988-89 season resulted in these teams not playing again until the 1991-92 campaign.
Schalke's next Revierderby was remarkable. With Schalke managing only three goals in their first four matches after returning to the Bundesliga, Dortmund seemed assured of continuing their success. On August 24, 1991, in front of over 70,000 fans, former Dortmund midfielder Ingo Anderbrügge
scored in the 2nd minute to put Schalke ahead 1-0. However, Dortmund equalized in the 36th and the 1st half finished with the scored tied 1-1. In the 2nd half, Schalke exploded, stunning Dortmund 5-2. Dortmund's overall success that season eclipsed the defeat, winning the next Revierderby 2-0, and finishing the league in second place that year, tied in points, but losing out to VfB Stuttgart
on goal differential.
The following years saw Schalke holding a slim advantage since 1991, winning 11, drawing 14, and losing 8 of the matches. Despite Schalke's recent Revierderby success, including losing only two derbies since 1999, Dortmund holds the advantage in overall success during this era, winning three Bundesliga championships, one UEFA Champions League
competition, and one Intercontinental Cup
since 1995, while Schalke won the UEFA Cup
once and the German Cup twice.
Recent years have seen the first-ever Bundesliga derby aired live on free TV (January 2004, shown on ARD), as well as two famous Dortmund victories. One of these, in 2005, ended a nearly seven-year undefeated streak for Schalke in the derby, while the other, in May 2007, took on almost traumatic proportions, as Schalke lost the derby and the league lead, which they had held for three months, on the penultimate day of the season in Dortmund. After each of these victories, Borussia Dortmund took the unprecedented step of selling specially-decorated replica shirts to commemorate the occasion. In 2008, Dortmund fan groups celebrated Schalke's fifty years without a league title.
